God Consecrates and Raises Up to Heaven Pastor: Lift up your hearts! People: We lift them up to the Lord! Let us Give Thanks to the Lord our God! It is proper and right to do so. SANCTUS Pastor: Truly it is fitting, right, wholesome and beneficial that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks to You O Lord, holy Father, almighty and everlasting God. Therefore, with angels and archangels, with all the company of heaven, and with all the Church on earth, we laud and magnify Your glorious name, evermore praising You and singing:
*Responsive Psalm Psalm 149 Pastor: Praise Yah! Sing to Yahweh a new song, People: His praise in the assembly of the beloved ones. Let Israel rejoice in his Maker! The sons of Zion, let them exult in their King! Let them praise His name with dancing! With tambourine and lyre let them play music to Him! For Yahweh is delighting in His people, Crowning the oppressed with salvation. Let the beloved ones be jubilant in glory; Let them sing for joy upon their beds. The high praises of the Mighty One be in their throats, And a sword of two-edges in their hands, To execute vengeance upon the nations, Punishments upon the peoples' To bind their kings with fetters, And their nobles with shackles of iron. To carry out against them the sentence written: This is the splendor of all His beloved ones. All: Praise Yah! Halleluiah! Confession of the Nicene Creed (please remain standing) We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one being with the Father. Through Him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven; by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Outline: Revelation 7:9-17 Revelation is a strange book filled with symbols and visions. Scholars have spent innumerable pages trying to dissect its meaning. While some of it may still remain mysterious after a lifetime of reading, some of it is quite clear. One great theme of this book is the glory of the Lamb who is worthy. We see such glory displayed in our text this morning. I. Kingship means death. II. III. IV. Jesus is the King-Lamb. The glory of the enthroned King. The centrality of Jesus. V. The blood-saturated robes. VI. VII. In union with the Savior's blood. The Victor's Crown.
